Frex, the makers of high end sim raicng hardware announced on their Facebook page a few days ago that their Sim3PedalV2 is now directly compatible with Thrustmaster wheels. They are also stating that they will work while connected to a Playstation 3 and 4. The pedals retail for 138,000 Yen which equates to $1152.02 here in the U.S. That’s not cheap, but in line with other high end hydraulic pedal sets on the market.
Based on their ordering page, it looks like you can get them with G25 / G27 direct connection as well or stand alone USB direct connection.
You can check out a video they posted of it that shows it’s connected to a T300 via the Thrustmaster Windows profile.
Since the Thrustmaster T300 RS, T500 RS and TX all share the same connector, I would imagine this would work with all three wheels and specifically the TX on the XBox One.
Here’s some specs on the pedals from their site:

Do any of you out there have this pedal set ? If so, what do you think of it ?
That is a lot of cash, but a lot of pedal. Be a few years before I can invest that kind of money, but very cool.
I hope it’s a lot of well-spent cash. Its durability ‘should be n.1’, but I fear these hi-tech pedals will demand high maintenance costs anyway.
The problem with all of these high end pieces is that we, as general buyers from all over the world, have no way of testing them before purchase. Its a lot of cash to spend basically blindly. When trying to decide between a few sets of high end pedals, its pretty much a coin toss because it is not possible to test drive them. Its compounded by the fact that some of the smaller manufacturers essentially make to order and don’t have stock lying around for guys like ISR to test. I think they are asking a lot us us as consumers to go with a product that is in the high-end price range with without knowing how they perform.
